🩺🌍 World Health Day: Emotional Triggers and Athletic Performance   On World Health Day, it is essential to recognize that the mind governs the body. Emotional health is not a minor detail – it is a fundamental pillar of sports performance.   Emotional triggers affect endurance, recovery, and even dietary choices. Stress, pressure to achieve results, and external expectations can compromise sleep, focus, and the ability to overcome challenges. A well-trained body is not enough if the mind is overwhelmed. When emotions are not managed, symptoms such as excessive fatigue, irritability, and lack of concentration arise. What hinders performance is not the trigger itself, but how one responds to it. True strength lies in the ability to recognize, confront, and transform internal challenges into motivation.   🔹 Caring for mental health with the same discipline as physical health is what sets great athletes apart. True performance happens when body and mind are in harmony. 🔹   Because a strong athlete is not just the one who surpasses physical limits, but the one who master’s their mind.     Nutritionist Verónica Barros, M.Sc, ON 5066N

🌍 World Physical Activity Day: Regular physical exercise is one of your greatest allies for cognitive health? 🧠 💡 Engaging in physical activity stimulates cerebral circulation, increases the production of essential neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, and promotes neural plasticity, protecting the brain from cognitive decline. It’s not just about taking care of your body, but also about investing directly in your mind. Start today by strengthening your brain for the future! 🚀   To learn more about how physical activity can benefit your cognitive health, read our full article on the blog: 📖 https://lnkd.in/d7nhqxMk   Nutritionist Verónica Barros, M.Sc, ON 5066N   Annals of Behavioral Medicine, Volume 59, Issue 1, January 2025, Kaae059, https://lnkd.in/dEfKBYdF

💧𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗛𝗬𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡   𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆?Water is life. It is essential for maintaining bodily functions, yet many of us don't consider when and how we drink it. But did you know that the time, quantity, and manner in which you hydrate can influence your health? Here’s a closer look at the importance of hydration and how to optimize your water intake.   🔬 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲? Water is essential for digestion, nutrient transport, body temperature regulation, and cognitive function. Even mild dehydration (just 2%) can affect physical performance, concentration, mental clarity, and metabolic health.   💡 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆? 💧𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆: Avoid drinking large amounts all at once to maintain electrolyte balance and prevent overloading your kidneys. ⏰ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁: By the time you feel thirsty, your body is already slightly dehydrated. 🍽️ 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀: This can help improve digestion and control appetite. ❄️ 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀: Cold water can hinder the digestive process. Opt for room temperature water instead.   📊𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁? The “8 cups a day” rule is an outdated myth. Hydration needs depend on several factors: age, physical activity level, climate, and overall health. ⚖️𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 35-40 ml/kg of body weight per day. ♂️ 𝗠𝗲𝗻: ~3.7 litres/day ♀️ 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻: ~2.7 litres/day   ⚠️ 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗲𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: •        Dark urine •        Fatigue •        Dizziness •        Dry skin   🍉𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Fruits: watermelon, orange, strawberry. Vegetables: cucumber, celery, spinach. 🔑 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Staying hydrated is not just about drinking large quantities of water. The secret lies in the strategy: consuming the right amount, at the right time, to boost your health, energy, and productivity throughout the day.   Nutritionist Verónica Barros, M.Sc, ON 5066N Doi: 10.3390/nu8100630.

World Sleep Day: sleep as the invisible ally in athletes' recovery and performance Sleep is a fundamental pillar in the recovery, performance, and health of any athlete. Scientific studies indicate that sleeping between 7 and 9 hours per night optimizes muscle regeneration, regulates metabolism, and promotes a healthy body composition. On the other hand, sleep deprivation compromises protein synthesis, increases cortisol (the stress hormone) production, and hinders muscle gain and fat loss. 🌙 Strategies to improve sleep quality: 🛌 Maintain regular sleep schedules ☀️ Expose yourself to natural light in the morning ☕️ Avoid caffeine after 14h 📱 Reduce blue light exposure at night 🧘 Create a relaxation routine 🌿 Incorporate stress management techniques 🚭 Avoid alcohol and tobacco consumption 🌡️ Optimize the sleep environment 🍽️ Be mindful of evening meals 🏆 Conclusion: Maintaining a routine aligned with the circadian cycle is not just a detail – it is the secret to unlocking peak performance. On World Sleep Day, remember: sleep is not just rest, it is the fuel for regeneration, muscle growth, and maximum athletic performance. Transform your sleep into your greatest ally and take your results to an unparalleled level! 👉 Prioritize your sleep and maximize your results!

🏃♂️💧World Kidney Day – Essential for Performance and Sports Recovery The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining the body's internal balance, directly influencing athletic performance and post-exercise recovery.   🔬 Renal Function and Sports Performance During intense physical activities, there is an increase in metabolite production that needs to be efficiently eliminated to avoid fatigue and maintain metabolic balance. Healthy kidneys ensure this detoxification, as well as regulating crucial electrolytes for muscle function.   💧 Hydration and Kidney Health Dehydration can impair renal function, compromising waste elimination and the body's electrolyte balance. This can increase the risk of injuries, cramps, and muscle fatigue. To ensure that the kidneys function efficiently and aid in post-exercise recovery, it's crucial to maintain adequate hydration before, during, and after exercise. Water is the best option, but for more intense workouts, isotonic drinks can be useful to replenish lost electrolytes.   🥦 Nutrition and Kidney Protection A balanced diet, rich in antioxidants, fibers, and healthy fats, contributes to proper renal function and reduces the risk of chronic inflammation. Foods like fruits, vegetables, fatty fish, and nuts are allies for kidney health, helping protect the kidneys from oxidative stress caused by intense physical activity. Additionally, controlling salt intake and moderating animal protein also play an important role in preserving kidney function over time.   ⚠️ Monitoring and Prevention Athletes should regularly evaluate renal function, especially when following specific diets or using supplements. Periodic monitoring is a key practice to ensure early detection of any changes in kidney function, allowing for more effective and safe monitoring.   🌍 On World Kidney Day, we emphasize the importance of conscious and informed sports practices. Take care of your kidneys, take care of your health, and maximize your performance!

💜 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY: STRENGTH, PERSEVERANCE, AND ACHIEVEMENT 💜   Today, we celebrate the determination, resilience, and talent of all women. But among them, there is a group that stands out for defying limits and turning dreams into achievements: female athletes! 🏆🏃♀️   For centuries, women have fought for their place in competitions, on podiums, and in the history of sport. Today, they are symbols of perseverance, inspiring new generations and proving that no obstacle is insurmountable! 🚀   🔬 Science in Service of Female Athletes The path of women in sport has been shaped not only by effort and dedication but also by knowledge. Science shows us that the female body has unique characteristics, and that nutrition plays a key role in optimizing performance, accelerating recovery, and preventing injuries. Every meal, every nutritional strategy, every dietary decision can make the difference between a good result and true glory! 🍎💪   🔥 Great Women, Great Achievements From Rosa Mota to Telma Monteiro, from Naide Gomes to Patrícia Mamona, Portuguese athletes have shown the world that nothing is impossible for those who believe, work hard, and never give up! And if they have paved the way, it is up to all of us to continue building it – with equality, respect, and fair opportunities for all female athletes, in every sport.   📢 Today, we honour every woman who has dared to defy the impossible. Every athlete who has turned obstacles into steppingstones to victory. Every young girl who, looking up to these women, realizes that she too can reach the top. Because sport is much more than competition – it reflects society, and only a truly fair society can applaud all its champions. 💜 Verónica Barros, M.Sc
